Re: Minimal password check, again

[Limbic~Region]

bronto,
I am not sure why eliminating too many repeated characters is a requirement, but here is a node that was a contest to find the most efficient way to get the number of unique characters in a string. From a brute force perspective - it is no easier to crack the password abcde then it is ppppp.

As far as identifying repeating sequence of characters, I do not know of an efficient method to do this, but:

Use substr with various lengths and starting positions

Use my $count = $temp_pass =~ s/$substring//g

To get the count of how often the sequence repeats in the password. Again, I do not understand the point of this.

I hope this helps - L~R
